IOS 6 airplay problem

- I currently have a iphone 4 and a ipad 2 both updated to ios6. When i am trying to send a video (ie. youtube,netflix ect.) to my apple tv 2 (from either device) it only plays the sounds (no video) this worked flawless before i updated to ios6. Any ideas?


On a side not airplay mirroring does work on my ipad 2 fine, just not normal airplay :/

AppleTV 2, iOS 6

After some poling around i noticed vevo works fine. Its youtube and netflix (even though netflix isnt a issue as i had the stock app on my atv) so your right, its a developer issue. Youtube was the main app i was concered with. As usual, i blame google lol. Thx !

Go figure, their "Web Mobile" YouTube site works flawlessly with AirPlay ... The message says it can't play video on this "device", as if it think that only 4S and higher would do video via AirPlay ... I'll reply again once I test the same thing from my iPhone 5 Friday :)


Obviously a bug though ... Video works perfectly with other apps too, so Google vengeance on Apple's decision ? :)

Same problem here, it seems that the new Youtube app for iphone dos not implement airplay video, and only ask you to turn on Airplay mirroring. But it's not as good as before this way, because you can not place your video in background and surf safari and you can not have true full screen. 😟

This was my most used app, why on earth did I upgraded 😠
